The Reason We Are Here

We Are a People of Purpose

The African Methodist Episcopal Church's mission is to minister to all people's spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and environmental needs by spreading Christ's liberating gospel through word and deed. The mission is carried out on all levels of the Church, particularly through local congregations. The Presiding Elder supervises pastors and supports them in their pastoral ministry, and provides technical assistance for local congregations.
